The Trust I Gave Poem by Vanessa Alvarez

I gave my trust, I gave my care,
Believed you'd always just be there.
I gave you love, both deep and true—
But loyalty was not your view.

I stood beside you in the storm,
Kept your heart safe, kept your hands warm.
But when my skies began to fall,
You vanished, never heard my call.

The ones we love, we think will stay,
But some just choose a different way.
And those we hold in highest place
Can turn and leave without a trace.

So now I walk with wiser eyes,
No longer fooled by sweet disguise.
For loyalty, I've come to see,
Is shown in how you stand by me
